I'm insanely envious of those results! ...and I'm supposed to be in the 'best' orange area on the map. ...and I sit next to a window with iBurst Signal at 90%.


Did mine this morning through BroadbandSpeed Test: http://speedtest.mybroadband.co.za/

If service was better then I would research getting antennae etc to boost it up. I also need to set up a wifi network at home but do not have time to mess around with the service desk.

BTW: I have the USB Modem on a USB cable so I can get it just about attached to the window. (and here I was thinking I was done with 'windows')

...and I have my iPhone as a backup wireless modem.
 
i have a usb modem and one of those flat panel antennas.
i get a better signal ("better signal" bhahahaha what a joke) without the panel antenna.
but i havent done alot of effort trying to put the antenna on my roof or anything.

the only place in our little duplex townhouse where i can get a decent signal is at our hallways window.
so i put my little netbook there if i need to download stuff.

how the hell else i am going to use 10gigs a month.
